I warned the group that the show was going back to the 70s this time around and I gave them a choice of 4 titles that I thought would make for a decent podcast and they ultimately chose to give the horror 101 treatment David Cronenberg's The Brood from 1979. Enjoy the show!

Episode 167: Horror 101 - Episode 167: Friday the 13th V - A New Beginning

Cash Wampum — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 01:00:00 +0000

We convened on the first of THREE Friday the 13ths in 2026 and decided to add another Jason film to our catalog. With over 20 deaths and very little gore, this installment was a shock to Jason fans. The direction the studio took the franchise in was nothing less than an 80s slasher scandal. There may be no more polarized film in the entire 45 years of the Friday legacy. You get the hockey mask and the Manfrendini music but why is this one of the most hated films of the era? Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Danny Steinmann's Friday the 13th Part V: A new Beginning

In the early 60s there was an anthology horror released by American International Pictures. Around the same time Vincent Price was making his mark with the Corman pictures an Italian Director was given an opportunity to give his take on several classic horror tales and somehow got Boris Karloff to join in as the movie's host and star.

Episode 162: Horror 101 - Episode 162: The Hidden

Cash Wampum — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 12:08:39 +0000

We're going to the 80s for our 162nd show. You know we're all about Hidden Gems and there was some talk about doing Wishamster 2 for this podcast, since we had such a great time covering the original last show. But instead we decided to honour the director of Wishmaster 2 by covering another of his films. One of several he made for New Line Cinema back in the 80s. This guy is not very well known and neither is this film, which makes it perfect for the podcast. So we hope you enjoy as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Jack Sholder's The Hidden from 1987.

Episode 161: Horror 101 - Episode 161: Wishmaster (1997)

Cash Wampum — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 13:27:37 +0000

We've received a LOT of requests to cover this one over the years. Directed by F/X mogul Robert Kurtzman and produced by Wes Craven, this late 90s gem features a TON of 80s Horror Icons. Anyone who wanted an 'Expendables" version of Horror actors need look no further. This is what you want. Very few movies from this era had so many great practical effects. The Gore is superb. The Djinn was a fantastic new villain for the time, played by a deliciously charismatic Andrew Divoff. We hope you enjoy our Horror 101 Treatment of Wishmaster.

Episode 137: Horror 101 - Episode 137: Event Horizon

Cash Wampum — Thu, 31 Aug 2023 12:16:19 +0000

Welcome to our 137th show! In the late 90s a young Paul W.S. Anderson directed a fantastic cast in a Horror/Sci Fi that's main goal was to give you a haunted house in space film. Test Audiences hated it. Half an hour was cut from it. The negative has been neglected and destroyed and although it was a commercial failure this film has since gathered a huge following in the horror community. Its been a long time since our crew had extremely varied opinions on a title. We hope you enjoy as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Event Horizon!

We hope you're feeling Nasty today cause thats exactly what we're covering. A slasher gore piece from 1981 that was on the UK's Video Nasty list. Of all the films is the 80s that tried to copy the Friday the 13th formula with a brutal killer in the woods this movie is one of the noteworthy ones. It has an impressive synth score from Richard Wakeman of Yes. Tom Savini does the horror effects and this was Bob and Harvey Weinstein's first film for their label Miramax.

Welcome to our 132nd Episode! This was recorded on St. Patty's Day. No, we're not covering Leprechaun. We did entertain the idea of covering an Irish themed horror but ultimately went with a film from 2016. Its quick, its tight. Its a decent shocker. Its a solid supernatural story that seems familiar but repacked well. Its claustrophobic and has an excellent cast and for these reasons we're giving the Horror 101 treatment to André Øvredal's The Autopsy of Jane Doe.

Last show we featured April Fool's Day from 1986, starring Deborah Foreman. She's going to be featured again in this 1988 film which also stars Zach Galligan from Gremlins and the legendary David Warner. There have been countless House of Wax type horror films since the dawn of cinema. In 1988 writer/director Anthony Hickox gave us his very first feature film which was his take on this subgenre. It was a hidden gem for me when I first found it on the VHS shelf 30 years ago.

Now, a lot of movies are shot in Canada but not a whole lot are SET in Canada and with this being so close to home and the fact that we've received more than a few hints from our listers to cover it, we've decided to give the Horror 101 treatment to Pontypool.

Cash Wampum — Sat, 30 Jan 2021 16:53:43 +0000

Cash Wampum — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 17:44:57 +0000

Welcome back to the Horror 101 show. Something a little different this podcast. Its not exactly a hidden gem but we don’t see this film being talked about in the community too often. If we were to tell you there was an anthology horror film from the 90s, hosted by John Carpenter as this ghoul in a morgue, cracking eye rolling jokes and ushering you into tales which feature Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven, David Naughton, Sam Raimi, Stacy Keach, Mark Hamill, Blondie, Sheena Easton, and David Warner. And thats maybe HALF of the faces you’d recognise in the film. Would you believe me? Cause that shit exists, Ladies and Gentlemen. For this 93rd episode we’re gonna dig up these tales of terror from 1993. Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Body Bags!

Horror 101 - Episode 92: Candyman (1992)

Cash Wampum — Tue, 29 Oct 2019 12:52:29 +0000

Welcome back to the Horror 101 podcast. In 1992 Bernard Rose directed a film which was based on a Clive Barker Story about the potency of urban legends and how far down the rabbit hole one graduate student will go to find out the truth about the infamous Candyman. They say if you call his name 5 times into the mirror he will come and butcher you with his hook for a hand. A true retelling of the Bloody Mary game. It featured good gore, excellent performances from Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen and a haunting score by Phillip Glass. Since Jordan Peele is helping to write the next chapter in this story (coming next year) we decided to give the Horror 101 treatment to Candyman this Halloween. Join us!

Horror 101 - Episode 90: Night of the Living Dead 1990

Cash Wampum — Thu, 29 Aug 2019 14:43:43 +0000

Welcome back to the Horror 101 Podcast. For this 90th milestone show we're spotlighting one of those rare horror remakes that does it's job well. In 1968 George Romero directed a new kind of horror movie which gave birth to an original new monster, the modern day zombie. After a last minute name change and an error in the title of the film the copyright was essentially lost and this film has ever since been open as public domain. 22 years later special effects wizard Tom Savini was given the opportunity to direct the remake of Romero's classic. We'll speak with Tony Todd and get some of his stories on the production of that film. How did he get the part of Ben? Which actor did he have issues with during the shoot? All that and more coming at you from Horror 101!

Show highlights:

01:00 Prelude to Terror...
05:30 Remaking a classic/Public Domain...

Horror 101 - Episode 89: Leviathan (1989)

Welcome back to the Horror 101 Podcast. For our 89th show we've focused on a big budget bomb from 1989. How can a monster film set 2 miles underwater starring Peter Weller and Richard Crenna with Jerry Goldsmith music and effects from Stan Winston fail? You're about to find out. A derivative script and bad timing probably had a huge part of it. We'll discuss the pros and cons of this creature feature called Leviathan and I'll give a small tribute to Rutger Hauer who sadly passed away a few days AFTER we recorded this show.

Horror 101 - Episode 87: Near Dark (1987)

Cash Wampum — Thu, 30 May 2019 15:30:16 +0000

Welcome back to the Horror 101 podcast. On this show we're returning to the vampire train. We could have covered Lost Boys but we decided to go the not-so-fluffy route and focused on a more sinister tale of the undead. Three key actors from Aliens (1986) went from outer space to the deep west and helped provide a very unique look at night time predators. Plagued with a failing production company and being released a month within the much more popular Lost Boys, this film was released with very little fanfare and was basically cast by the wayside. In the last few decades it has gained quite the cult following and has become the favourite vampire film of many fans. With memorable performances by Lance Henriksen and the late, great Bill Paxton we offer you the Horror 101 treatment of Kathryn Bigelow's Near Dark. Join us!

Show Highlights:

01:00 Prelude to Terror...
04:00 Choosing the film for episode 87...

Horror 101 - Episode 86: The Hitcher (1986)

Cash Wampum — Sun, 28 Apr 2019 16:14:32 +0000

Welcome back to the Horror 101 Podcast. For our 86th show we're spotlighting one of the greatest road thrillers ever made. At the 11th hour we switched our plans of covering Vamp, which would have continued our vampire campaign. We decided to go a different route to focus on a hidden gem. A little Canon/HBO film that wasn't a huge commercial success and flew under the radar when it was released. Undoubtedly, one of the best cast films. Brilliant performances and a smart script makes this film a must see. Some may argue this isn't a horror film but with the amount of dread it dishes out, I say differently. Plus, Rutger Hauer plays one of the best villains ever. It is our pleasure to give the Horror 101 treatment to Robert Harmon's The Hitcher (1986). Join us!

Show Highlights:

01:00 Prelude to Terror...
04:00 Switching from Vamp to Hitcher...
09:00 "My Mother told me never to do this..."

Cash Wampum — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 15:21:33 +0000

Since 1985 was a fantastic year for horror we decided to capitalize off the coincidence that this was our 85th episode and focus on another film from that year. it wasn't easy to pick which movie we wanted to cover. In the end we decided to continue on the Tobe Hooper Vampire Train. We're jumping from 1979's Salem Lot to another film about life suckers and giving the Horror 101 treatment to Hooper's Lifeforce. We'll talk about the recent loss of Joe Pilato and Larry Cohen and introduce you to an ambitious Metal/Horror project thats in the making. Join us!

Welcome back to the Horror 101 show! If you had the privilege of growing up in the 70s you might remember a two-part Saturday night special broadcast to your TV in November of 1979. It was a screen adaptation of Stephen King's second novel involving the vampire infestation of a small town, directed by the man that gave us The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Having to adhere to television's strict guidelines of zero gore and profanity, this special was well crafted with an excellent cast and genuine spooks. It was a favourite of ours who grew up watching reruns in the 80s and since it turns 40 this year we're giving the Horror 101 treatment to the original television production of Salem's Lot. Join us!

Horror 101 - Episode 81: Pet Sematary (1989)

Cash Wampum — Wed, 28 Nov 2018 06:26:38 +0000

Welcome back to the Horror 101 Podcast. For this 81st show we're shedding light on one of the scariest films to come out of 1989. In 1983 Stephen King wrote a novel which incorporated a bunch of his personal experiences and wrapped them in a supernatural blanket of evil, violence and despair. By the end of the book he had completely freaked himself out with what he had written and shelved the story but it became a huge best seller anyway. Several years later, Mary Lambert would go on to direct her vision of that story. With a new remake on the horizon and a fantastic 'making of' documentary made last year we've decided to give the Horror 101 treatment to Pet Sematary.

Show highlights:

01:00 Prelude to Terror...
05:45 What would scare Stephen King?

Horror 101 - Episode 80: Suspiria (1977)

Cash Wampum — Wed, 31 Oct 2018 02:47:20 +0000

Welcome to our 80th podcast! Just in time for Halloween! We decided to put our money where our mouth is. After giving strong opinions about the relevance and necessity of Halloween 2018 we went to see it and begin this show with some of our thoughts on the new movie. There will be SPOILERS! And since Luca Guadagnino's remake of Suspiria will be hitting theatres in a few days there will never be a better time to cover Argento's fan-favourite original from 1977. This movie has been applauded for decades. It is highly stylized and beautiful to look at but it is not without its flaws. The Nefarious Paul B. joins us once again. Come with us this Halloween as we give a critical treatment to one of the most universally loved genre films in the last 40 years.

Horror 101 - Episode 79: Halloween II (1981)

Cash Wampum — Sat, 29 Sep 2018 15:16:41 +0000

Greetings listeners! Welcome back to the Horror 101 show. After taking a month off we return to weigh in on the upcoming Halloween 2018 film and what its going to mean after its release. Is it enough that Jamie Lee Curtis is coming back to play Laurie Strode and John Carpenter will be making the music? Does it make sense that this new film will be replacing everything thats come after the original 1978 film? Few sequels are as perfect as Halloween II (1981). It begins the moment the original film left off and it is an exceptional film which concluded an excellent story. And with this new film threatening to remove it from the Myers canon its clear our only act of defiance is to give the Horror 101 treatment to Rick Rosenthal's Part II. We'll be speaking to long time listener Eugene and getting his thoughts. We'll spend some time on what we're expecting from the new movie and retrospecting on Part II. Join us as we defend one of the greatest horror sequels ever made.

Horror 101 - Episode 78: Nightmare (1981)

Cash Wampum — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 03:59:11 +0000

Greetings Horror Fans! We hope you're prepared to get sticky and sleazy cause that's where the Horror 101 train is headed this time around. For episode 78 we're focusing on one of the most notorious Video Nasty slasher films in the genre. This film was once famous for causing a UK video distributor to go directly to jail (and not pass Go!) for failing to cut certain scenes from the film for its British VHS release. At the height of the Video Nasty purge copies of this movie went for over $100 bucks a pop. The director scandalously accredited the gore effects to maestro Tom Savini, exploiting his name for ticket sales. We'll discuss how this came to be and introduce you to the real effects artists responsible for the shamelessly excessive violence this movie has to offer. Join us as we jump right into the sleaze of Romano Scavolini's Nightmare.

Horror 101 - Episode 77: Dolls

Cash Wampum — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 23:21:32 +0000

Welcome back to the Horror 101 show! For our 77th episode we're going back to 1987 and giving some love to another Stuart Gordon/Brian Yuzna collaboration. The Charles Band produced Dolls. Admittedly, this is very light horror but at a scant 77 minutes long, with an excellent cast and one long and stormy night in a supernatural mansion, Dolls is always moving and a lot of fun. We'll give our take on the recent Halloween trailer and our thoughts on what its going to be like having to remove Halloween II (1981) from the Canon once its released. Join us as we give the Horror 101 treatment to Dolls!

Horror 101 - Episode 76: Videodrome

Cash Wampum — Tue, 29 May 2018 12:48:31 +0000

For episode 76 the crew each selected a title they wanted to cover and we put it to a vote for our Patrons. Their choice? David Cronenberg's Videodrome, starring James Woods and Deborah Harry. This is our third time focusing on Cronenberg's work at the Horror 101 Podcast. Videodrome is a dark and eccentric look at the effects of media on the psyche. When UHF channel 83 station owner Max Renn stumbles upon an ultra-violent pirated satellite video feed he begins a campaign to acquire it for his station. The further he chases down the source, the more his world turns upside down. Join us as we dissect this Canadian horror filled with the bizarre body horror effects Cronenberg is known for, brilliantly displayed by Rick Baker.

Horror 101 - Episode 75: Jaws

Cash Wampum — Sat, 28 Apr 2018 18:28:02 +0000

Welcome back to the Horror 101 show. For this 75th milestone show Nood suggested we should cover a classic from 1975, so it was decided. We were going to take a bite out of Steven Spielberg's Jaws. Jaws still stands as an incredible achievement by the then young and enthusiastic Spielberg. It was one of the first summer blockbusters and instantly sparked fear into the hearts of millions who loved to swim in the open ocean. With outstanding performances and the most iconic John Williams' score, Jaws still stands the test of time more than 40 years after its release. We'll share our stories with how it affected our lives, focusing on our favorite and no so favorite parts. For this special 75th episode its our privilege to give The Horror 101 treatment to JAWS.

Cash Wampum — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 00:58:29 +0000

Welcome to the 74th Horror 101 episode. Get out your shit mittens, listeners. We've got a stinker coming right at ya! Remember we were hinting at posting a hater show? Inadvertently, this turned out to be one of those. After a listener suggested we revisit this 80s 'gem' called Dead and Buried, directed by Gary Sherman we decided to give it a shot and the result was a hilariously scathing review. Contrary to our usual promotion style, this episode is going to bring the anvil down on a film about the undead plaguing a small fishing town called Potter's Bluff. Join us for our first (mostly) negative review podcast!

Horror 101 - Episode 72: Oculus

Cash Wampum — Sun, 28 Jan 2018 17:33:09 +0000

Welcome to the first Horror 101 podcast of 2018. This time we focus on a newer title that most of the crew hasn't seen before. Its Mike Flanagan's Oculus from 2013 starring Rory Cochrane and Dr. Who's favorite redhead, Karen Gillan. Oculus is an excellent modern horror which relies on atmosphere and terror instead of gore and jump scares. A welcomed break from the usual horror tropes frequently utilized today. This is the story of a brother and sister putting themselves in harms way to vindicate their parents (and themselves) from a dark history perpetuated by a centuries old looking glass that seems Hell bent on destroying the lives of those in proximity to it. Will the pair prove the mirror's evil power or become the latest victims of it's malicious trickery?

Show highlights:

01:00 Prelude to Terror...
02:55 Welcome to 2018...

Horror 101 - Episode 71: Tales From the REAL 3rd Creepshow

Cash Wampum — Sat, 30 Dec 2017 00:25:45 +0000

Welcome horror fans, to the final Threequel podcast of the year! Many have speculated about what the last film we're covering may be. Its time for a curve ball! We're not giving you a Part 3. We're giving you what SHOULD have been a Part 3. What many horror veterans would consider the REAL Creepshow 3. We're talking about John Harrison's Tales From the Darkside: The Movie (1990). Directed by the man who scored the first Creepshow, Darkside is the cinematic crescendo of the successful Tales From the Darkside 80s TV show. This anthology film gives us three tales of terror from King, Doyle, Romero and McDowell. A splendidly fun horror movie featuring KNB effects and budding roles from established stars. Come, end the year (and our Threequel theme) with us and learn why 'Tales' is the Creepshow 3 you never got but always wanted!
